Muse: Dear Boy, Bear With Me

The unborn 
Script you have 
 
Still to write, how 
Much longer can you bear not 
 
To issue it? This is not— 
And I repeat—a mere trifling 
 
Rhetorical question 
You are free to answer 
 
At your own discretion, 
But one you must dispatch 
 
With no waste of time or talent, 
And swear never again 
 
To shame my good name 
By writing plodding 
 
Shoddy verse under 
A slew 
 
Of shady noms de plume; 
It’s either that or else. . . 
 
Abort, sport and don't bother 
Cleaning up that bloody 
 
Mess you always leave so
Artfully behind you.
